Chapter 1171:

Elyse asked with concern, “Are you going to dispose of it?”

“Dispose of it? I’m just going to tweak it a little to make it palatable,” Garret replied, sounding annoyed.

Elyse quietly took her seat at the dining table, feeling dejected. Louise tried to comfort her. “Don’t worry about it. Cooking for everyone, you can just let Jayden cook for you from now on.”

Elyse asserted, “I can make clam chowder well, and I do have other things I’m known for.”

Louise, seeing Elyse wasn’t convinced, reassured her briefly before suddenly asking, “What’s your opinion on Garret?”

Elyse nearly choked on her food upon hearing that question.

After swallowing a large gulp of water, she asked in a flustered tone, “Why would you ask something like that? I don’t really know him that well.”

“But you’ve been around him for some time now. What do you think of him?” Louise persisted.

Elyse felt a chill run down her spine at the question.

She gathered her courage and said, “He’s attractive, intelligent, and strategic, but his words can be quite sharp.”noveldrama

Louise leaned her chin on her hand and challenged, “Is that all?”

“That’s all I’ve noticed up to now,” Elyse answered.

Louise continued probing, “If you weren’t fond of Jayden and met someone like Garret, would you be attracted to him?”

Elyse froze, puzzled by the motive behind Louise’s probing questions.

Elyse said, “That question doesn’t make much sense. Even if I weren’t in love with Jayden, I wouldn’t get to meet Garret. He’s the prince, and I’m just a commoner. We would never run into each other.”

Louise pursed her lips. “True. But imagine you did meet Garret. Would you fall for him?”

Elyse responded firmly, “No, absolutely not.”

Louise, skeptical, pressed further, “Are you so certain you wouldn’t fall in love with him? What if you did?”

“No,” Elyse replied confidently. “I am completely sure I would never fall for him. He’s just not my type.”

Louise, still convinced, was about to continue questioning when Garret approached with a bowl of soup.

Garret placed the soup on the table and quickly asked, “What were you two discussing in my kitchen?”

Louise tightened her lips again. “We were talking about you. Just eat.”

Elyse, hesitant to say anything, quietly served herself soup. When she took a small sip, she was amazed by the rich flavor. She exclaimed in surprise, “What did you put in the soup to make it taste so amazing?”

Garret responded, “Even if I told you, you wouldn’t understand. Just enjoy your meal in silence. You won’t get another chance to be in the kitchen.”
